I was dead tired when I became careless. My right hand depressed the button on the electric thermos, while my left hand was holding my cup too close to the water sprout. My hand took a shot of boiling water and steam. The pain of being burned and steamed was excruciating. After this introduction to a boil and steam, I upped my respect for them. I was in so much pain that I was exhausted, and fell into bed, in a deep sleep.

It is good to have enough respect for boiling water and steam to get out of the way.
Ouch! This sounds painful!
that is a special kind of pain, how it sometimes (for a split, nerve-impulse lag) feels cold rather than what it is.
Engaging Six!
Ouch! It has happened to all of us, the burn when we were not paying attention. I hope it healed quickly with no scarring.
Oh my god…
I had Shivers from recognising the pain.
I hope it heals fast.
A second of carelessness and days of almost endless pain. I wish I had more experience on managing burns.
Boil and Steam can be fickle friends!
